A Word for fhe Newspaper Men.

ST. PAUL MINI, February 90
In the Senate this morning Chap
lain Allison startled that august
body by closing his prayer with a
word Tor the newspaper men. lie
said:
And now, dear Lord, bless the
reporters, whose nimble pens catch
our every word almost before it is
uttered. Like Thyself, they are
omnipresent and almost omnipO-
tent. If We take the wings OF the
morning and fly to the uttermost
parts of the earth, they are there.
They meet MS in the jungles of
Africa, they waylay us in the
solitary canyons of Colorado, and
when at length we find the latitude
of the magnetic pole, behold they
are there. May their light and
goodness be equal to their power,
and when the general assembly of
heaven conyenes, let no reporter be
Amen

He STRUCK THE WROHG FUNERAL.
Washington Critic. ]

Some time ago, Mr.. G. Martin,
the accomplished and charming
journalist, was called over to Phila-
delphia TO attend the funeral OF a
young man whom he had known
very well. Mr.. Martin reached the
city somewhat late, and, taking a
carriage, he hurried away. When
he reached the street where the
dead man had lived a funeral pro-
cession was Just turning out of it,
and thanking his stars that he had
not reached the place too late, he
told his driver to fall into the line
Of carriages and follow. At the
cemetery he got out, and although
he did not see any one he knew,
he felt it to be his duty to talk to
some one about the deceased, so he
approached a nice-loOking old
gentleman.
ale was a good fellow" he said,
sadly, with a slight nod toward the
grave.

man, wiping away tear.

many's the time we've had togetb-

The old gentleman looked at him
Indignantly.
"Oh,' apologized Mr.. ~, 81
don't mean painting the town red,
or anything like that, but just nice
little chats and long walks, don't
you know"
The old mans face grew redder.
"What do you mean, sir 7" he
said angrily.
81 mean what ! say, sir. lie
was a rafting good fellow" and
Dir. NJ. began to look surprised.
"Who, sir Z"
"The man in the grave there, Of
course"
"There's no man there, sir. It'
a young lady. She's my niece, sir
and you"
But Mr.. Martin didn't wait fol-
the particulars; he saw he had
struck the wrong funeral, and he
made a break for his carriage and
escaped, but not soon enough t.
attend the funeral of his friend.

few months ago reminds me OF one
on him which will illustrate his
character in another respect. In
1850 he was IN a mining camp then
called Hangtown, but now known
As Placerville. HaDgtown was well
named, for it was the headquarters
OF the Vigilance Committee in that
portion of the state, and more hang

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
ARE ALL THINGS READY ?

The winter months are over and
gone. Wintery weather, of course,
will linger for a time. Doubtless
we shall yet have some sharp north.
westers, mayhap, some snow storms,
some frozen ground and iccles, de-
spite the ground hogs determine
ton to break up camp and begin
his journey. But the sun is mount.
ing higher and higher every day
in the heavens to shine upon the
earth with more direct and quick
enlng rays, and very soon all traces
of the ''ruler of the inverted year,
will have vanished from around US.
Fine spring weather Will be with
us soon, bringing all its gladdening
sights and sounds to cheer us and
to renew our hopes and aspirations,
and to stimulate to great efforts to
make their realization possible.
Farmers, are all things ready
that you may take due advantage
OF the golden opportunities at
hand 7 Are the wagons and carts
in good condition TOR hauling! Are
the plows in order with new, sharp
points and shares to start into the
frost. loosened fields Are the har-
row teeth sharpenedi Has the
harness been Overhauled and oiled?
Have the compost heaps, the sure
banks you are ere long to draw
upon, been looked over and made
fine for use And the various seeds
you will need-are they all ready
for casting in at the appointed
timesg
A timely start, and the right
kind of a start, and the battle is
half won. System, method and
perseverance to keep work well be-
gun all the time in advance will
accomplish the rest.

Frauds In Oats and Glover Seed.

1t is astonishing that in some
sections farmers are still being
defrauded by swindlers who sell
seeds of these at an exorbitant
price, agreeing to buy back twice
as much of the produce at the same
rate next season. Notes are given,
which are passed of to innocent
third parties, and have to be paid.
Farmers are only safe in signing
absolutely no kind Of papers foI
strangers, and in keeping strictly
aloof from any such dealings.

Look after the healthy condition
of the laying hens. See that their
houses are frequently cleaned out,
we'll sprinkled with carbolc acid
and thoroughly fumigated with
sulphur, if you would guard against
cholera and other diseases. Beside
you will need every pound of the
scrapings to mix with that compost
bank OF "heavy artillery" for the
prospective crops of soiling corn.
Carbolic acid costs about thirty
cents a quart and flour of sulphur
about ten cents a pound.
